Course Report
Arrowhead sits within ancient sandstone formations that are over 300 million years old, offering one of America's most geologically unique golf backdrops.
About
Arrowhead Golf Course in Littleton, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Sr., winds through dramatic 300-million-year-old red sandstone formations in the Rocky Mountain foothills. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery and unique rock hazards, Arrowhead is one of Colorado’s most celebrated public courses, blending memorable, challenging holes with upscale amenities and hospitality.
Caddie Tip
Stay below the hole on Arrowhead’s fast, undulating greens, as putts from above can be treacherous. The rock formations frame fairways and can influence winds, so judge club selection carefully, especially on elevated tees and the signature 13th. Play conservatively off the tee on target holes to avoid difficult boulder hazards.
The Main Challenge
Arrowhead’s toughest challenge lies in navigating narrow, tree-lined fairways framed by massive, sloping sandstone formations. Strategic shot placement is required to avoid natural boulder hazards and deep bunkers, and the elevated, fast greens demand precise approach shots for scoring opportunities.
The Good
Golfers love Arrowhead’s stunning mountain and red rock scenery, which is unmatched in the Denver area. The ancient sandstone formations run through nearly every hole, creating a picturesque and memorable backdrop, especially on the back nine. Many players also rave about the overall uniqueness and quality of the setting.
The Not So Good
The most frequent complaints concern green fees, which some consider expensive for a public course, and occasional slow pace of play during busy periods. Some golfers also mention tough lies and uneven ground near the dramatic rock features, making certain shots unpredictable.
